Jewell: we’re not a dirty team

WIGAN manager Paul Jewell is adamant his side “are not a dirty team” after yesterday picking up a £25,000 (€37,200) fine following their 1-0 victory over Newcastle.

Jewell saw six of his players booked at the JJB Stadium, incurring the automatic penalty as the Latics suffered again at the hands of an over-zealous official.

The match initially turned on a crucial penalty save from John Filan on the half-hour as the goalkeeper turned aside Nolberto Solano’s spot-kick.
